like, "he seemed nice to me." [ laughter ] folding. "she seemed like a real creep." >> jimmy: you're not going to stop folding? >> no. that's the weird thing about anytime you go interview somebody they can't they never stop working. i've had a lot of bad jobs. if the cops ever came, i'd be like, "i'm taking my ten now. [ laughter ] and i'm going to talk to the cops. someone's dead. i have to stop folding sweaters for [ bleep ] sake." >> jimmy: oh, yeah.

[ laughter ] i don't know. i mean -- no. i don't -- no. >> jimmy: at this point. >> at this point why?

why are you doing that? >> jimmy: it's so close to -- because there's not really -- there's too many -- >> no, no. i just don't know why he would do that. >> jimmy: oh, why he would do that. he could be the president. >> it seems like a terrible job. >> jimmy: it's not an easy job. >> it actually seems like the worst job. >> jimmy: but you're not going to stop that job if ice t comes in to question you. you'd be like, "no." >> "i'm vetoing. i can't stop."
